On the first of February twenty areas ago, the re-entry of NASA's Space Shuttle Columbia into the Earth's atmosphere killed all the seven astronauts who were on board. One among the seven astronauts was Kalpana Chawla, the first Indian American Woman Aerospace Engineer to go into the Space. Today in her absence,her legacy is alive in the form of inspiration among many young girls in India to make a career in STEM. While reading her biography "The Edge of Time" by Jean-Pierre Harrison to cope with the emptiness of the new school, I developed my interest in Planetary Science at a very early age. Therefore, to learn more about the formation of the Earth and the Solar system, I decided to pursue my higher education in the field of Geology from the University of Delhi, India.During my academic years, subjects such as Mineralogy, Igneous and Metamorphic Petrology, Geomorphology, and Geophysics helped me gain a better understanding of the Earth and the dynamic forces responsible for its formation. As I gradually progressed into the course, my research work majorly revolved around the petrological investigations of the hard rocks. A summer internship on mineralogical studies of Migmatites from Garhwal Himalayan region gave me first hands-on experience of sample preparation for petrographic and mineral chemical studies. While I studied the samples collected from the Garhwal Himalayas, I was fascinated to notice the heterogeneous nature of the rock, both microscopically and in hand samples. The skills I gained during this internship were later helpful in accomplishing my masters'research work on petrographic, mineral chemical, and geochemical characterization of Gabbros from the Naga Hills Ophiolite Belt of India. Based on my petrographical observations, I classified the samples into Massive and Cumulate Gabbros. I used the bulk rock data obtained from XRF analysis for the compositional categorisation of the mineral present in the samples. Further, programmes like COREL DRAW and Geochemical took kit were employed to plot the major oxides, trace element and REE data obtained from ICP-MS analysis for geochemical characterisation of the samples in various bivariant plots. Besides these, I have participated in four field trips across the northern India where I demonstrated my understanding about various geological structures, observed different lithologies, understood the importance of scale while collecting samples and learnt the utilisation of Brunton compass and topographic maps in geological mapping

2月1日，二十一区域前，NASA的航天飞机哥伦比亚重新进入地球大气层，杀死了所有船上的七名宇航员。卡尔帕纳·乔拉（Kalpana Chawla）是七名宇航员之一，他是第一位进入该空间的印度美国女子航空航天工程师。今天，在她不在的情况下，她的遗产以印度许多年轻女孩的灵感形式充满活力，以从事STEM的职业。在阅读Jean-Pierre Harrison的传记“时间边缘”以应对新学校的空虚时，我在很小的时候就对行星科学产生了兴趣。因此，要了解有关地球和太阳系的形成的更多信息，我决定从印度德里大学进行高等教育。在我的学年，矿物学，矿物学，火成岩和变质岩学，地貌学和地球物理学以及地球物理学等学科，使我对地球和动力学的表现有更好的了解。随着我逐渐进入课程，我的研究工作主要围绕着对硬石的岩石学调查。暑期实习于Garhwal喜马拉雅地区的Migmatites矿物学研究，为我提供了第一个动手实践经验，用于岩石学和矿物质化学研究的样本准备。当我研究了从Garhwal喜马拉雅山脉收集的样品时，我着迷于注意到岩石的异质性质，无论是显微镜还是手工样本。我在这次实习期间获得的技能后来有助于完成我的硕士研究工作，从而从印度纳迦山山地蛇质带的岩石学，化学和地球化学表征进行了岩石学，矿物质和地球化学特征。根据我的岩石学观察结果，我将样品分类为庞大而累积的gabbros。我使用了从XRF分析获得的大量岩石数据，用于样品中存在的矿物的组成分类。此外，采用了诸如Corel Draw和Geochemical over Kit之类的程序来绘制从ICP-MS分析获得的主要氧化物，痕量元素和REE数据，以在各种双变量图中对样品的地球化学表征进行地球化学表征。除此之外，我还参加了整个印度北部的四次实地考察，在那里我展示了我对各种地质结构的理解，观察到了不同的岩性，了解了规模的重要性，同时收集样品并了解了布伦顿指南针的利用，并在地质图中使用了地形图。
